Curvilinear triangle, a triangle whose which some of the lines are straight and others curved.

In geometry, a portion of a surface bounded by three lines , and consequently having three angles. Triangles are either plane, spherical, or curvilinear.

A plane triangle is a portion of a plane bounded by three straight lines called sides, and their points of intersection are bounded A by three straight lines are triangle. Plane triangles may be classified either with reference to their sides or their angles.

When classified with reference to their sides, there are two classes : (1) Scalene triangles, which have no two sides equal.

When sides, there are two classes: (1) equal. , which have two sides equal. The isosceles triangle has a particular case, called the equilateral triangle, all of whose sides are equal. When classified with reference to their angles, there are two classes : (1) Right-angled quadrantal, when one of its sides is equal triangles, which have one right angle. to 90°.

Spherical triangles take the names, right-angled, obtuseangled, acutewhich some of the lines are straight and , and equilateral, in the same cases as plane triangles Two spherical triangles are polar, when the angles of the one are supplements of the sides of the other, taken in the same order. A spherical triangle is TREVELYAN 1878, he moved the resolution on the extension of the County Franchise, which was lost by 52 votes.
